Can't believe that I never saw this "Other Automotive Members Rides" forum before this...... Considering my Acocrd build has kind of stalled out for now, waiting on funds for the engine build. you know life happens!
I have had the opportunity to do some small modifications to my current daily driver. I'm the type of guy that jsut can't leave well enough alone. i even started to modify my wife's Grand AM until she told me to F#@k off...lol
Anywho, here she is the current build;
Here is my 2001 Ford ZETEC powered 5sp 4WD Mazda Tribute DX.
Exterior
- Stock
Interior
- Stock
Audio
- Sony Xplode head unit
- 6 disc CD shuttle
- 2 x Sony 3 way 4s
- 2 x Sony 3 way 6 x 9s
- 2 x Sony 10" subs
- 1000w Kicker amp for subs
- 500w Kenwood amp for 4s and 6 x 9's
This thing actually pounded so hard it broke the hinges for the hatch glass. i'm guessing they were pretty much ready to go though...lol
Suspension
- Stock
- Drop springs and AGX shocks/struts planned
Engine
- 6" K&N cone filter
- 6" - 3" velocity stack
- 70mm Pro-M MAF housing
- Granatelli Motorsports tuned MAF sensor
- Polished 65mm BBK throttle body (stock was 54mm)
- Port matched intake manifold
- 24lb Corvette injectors
- Lvl. 2 Comp Cams
- OBX-R 4-1 equal length header w/Cat delete
- Spark plug defouler for down stream O2 w/no CEL
- Magnaflow exhaust
- EGR and EVAP systems removed,
Ongoing work
- Port, polish and mill spare ZETEC Head
- +1mm exhaust valves
A few options that I have previously run to see if they work. However, I have since removed them until I get some head porting done and the MS3 up and running
- COP conversion
- GSX-R/ Focus SVT individual throttle body intake manifold
- 2 stage fuel injection system
With the current mods this 5 speed 2.0L Tribute is pretty fun to drive in any and all weather conditions. Really fun in the snow when you push that 4WD button.
On to some pics;
OBX-R Focus ZETEC ram horn header and modified down pipe to fit.
Spark plug de-fouler installed on the secondary O2 to help with the insufficient catalyst CEL.
Cams installed,
COP harness
Cut up an old coil so that I could use the connector. Didn't want to have to modify the stock engine harness if I didn't have to.
This is not going to be any sort of show car or high Hp build. These are parts I had lying around from anther build that I have ongoing. If it doesn't work I put everything back and run her stock.
The exterior needs some minor body work and paint.
Plan on lowering it on some H&R springs and AGX struts/shocks.
